Description
The Little House is a detached house dating from the 19th century, constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone. It features a concrete tile roof with brick stacks. The building has a symmetrical, two-storey facade with two windows, all of which are two-light casements with leaded panes and dressed stone lintels. The central entrance consists of a fielded four-panel door. The roof is hipped and has tall lateral stacks on both the right and left-hand sides. Surrounding the property is a spear-headed railing with stanchions topped with urn finials. The house is included in the listing primarily for its group value. The interior has not been inspected.
